English is not my native tongue and unconsciously, for the longest time, I had been using that excuse for not publishing what I write online or offline. I used to fear that my grammar will screw up and my friends who happen to be mostly excellent writers will laugh at my writings.
When you make a typo or a slight grammar glitch in blogging, that's forgivable, but when it's done over and over again... Dear, it ain't cool anymore. One of my friends told me that she don't write because she lacks cohesion in organizing her thoughts. I guess we have our own "stupid excuses", yes? Julien Smith said it perfectly:
"Ask yourself out loud: What am I afraid of?
I guarantee that when you do this, when you say it out loud and listen to the answer, your answer will sound stupid. Because most of our issues are pretty stupid."
So what's the antidote for stupid excuses? Doing something about the thing you are afraid of once and for all! That's the short story my friends, how one day I found myself reading a copy of Ann Batko's "When Bad Grammar Happens to Good People
". The book happens to be exactly what I need and just I had suspected, the topic on tenses is the toughest, at least for me.
